Removable packaging eyewear blank

ABSTRACT

A removable packaging eyewear blank including a perforated boundary disposed to delimit eyewear in a packaging, whereby the eyewear is removable from the packaging and wearable by a user.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Various types of promotional packaging are known in the prior art.However, what is needed is a removable packaging eyewear blank thatincludes a packaging having a perforated boundary disposed to delimteyewear removable from the packaging, whereby removal of the eyewearopens the packaging and enables wearing of eyewear devised to celebratea particular event, holiday, or other occasion, as case may be.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a removable packaging eyewear blank,and more particularly, to a removable packaging eyewear blank thatincludes a perforated boundary disposed in a packaging, said perforatedboundary delimiting eyewear therein, whereby the eyewear is selectivelyremovable from the packaging for wear by a user in celebration of anevent, holiday, or other occasion, as desired.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The general purpose of the removable packaging eyewear blank, describedsubsequently in greater detail, is to provide a removable packagingeyewear blank which has many novel features that result in a removablepackaging eyewear blank which is not anticipated, rendered obvious,suggested, or even implied by prior art, either alone or in combinationthereof.

The present removable packaging eyewear blank has been devised to enableremoval of eyewear from a product packaging and provide promotionalnovelty to particular products thereby. The present removable packagingeyewear blank, as presented herein, is directed to disposition as partof a packaging for a carton of beer. However, additional packaging foradditional products is contemplated as part of this invention.

The present removable packaging eyewear blank, therefore, includes aperforated boundary disposed in a packaging, said perforated boundarydisposed delimiting an eyewear thereby removable from said packaging.The eyewear includes a pair of arms, a pair of eye-loops, and a bridge,and is removable from the packaging for wear upon the head of a user.

Each of the pair of arms includes an earpiece and a temple. Eachearpiece is disposed endwise upon each arm, there disposed forengagement upon the ear of a person wearing the eyewear. The temple is alinear portion of each arm disposed between the earpiece and theassociated eye-loop.

Each of the pair of eye-loops includes a removable center having ashaped perimeter. The shaped perimeter may be reminiscent of thesilhouette of an object, such as a bat, a cat, a star, a moon, or otherobject, as case may be, indicative of a specific event, occasion,holiday, or other object or item, as desired when promoting a particularproduct for a specific or other occasion. In the preferred embodimentherein disclosed, the shaped perimeter is taken to resemble a pumpkin,and the beer packaging therefore marketed as a promotional forHalloween. Of course, additional embodiments are taken as inclusive, andthe present example is not intended to otherwise limit the device byparticularity.

The present removable packaging eyewear blank is contemplated to bestamped into the packaging at time of manufacture. In the preferredembodiment herein disclosed, the eyewear is disposed upon the packagingwith each of the pair of arms disposed vertically oriented on parallelside faces of a carton of beer. The pair of eye-loops and bridge aredisposed oriented horizontally upon the top side of the carton of beer.A user may, therefore, readily detach the perforated boundary to removethe eyewear from the packaging, simultaneously opening the packagingwhereby beer is dispensable from the opening formed by the removal ofthe eyewear. The user thence detaches the removable center, and theeyewear is wearable, as desired.

It is contemplated that the present removable packaging eyewear blankmay be termed “beer goggles” and provide added humor and conviviality toany occasion whereat beer is consumed and, specifically, therebyincrease sales of product as promotional packaging selectable fornovelty.

Thus has been broadly outlined the more important features of thepresent removable packaging eyewear blank so that the detaileddescription thereof that follows may be better understood and in orderthat the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated.

Objects of the present removable packaging eyewear blank, along withvarious novel features that characterize the invention are particularlypointed out in the claims forming a part of this disclosure. For betterunderstanding of the removable packaging eyewear blank, its operatingadvantages and specific objects attained by its uses, refer to theaccompanying drawings and description.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

With reference now to the drawings, and in particular FIGS. 1 through 3thereof, example of the instant removable packaging eyewear blankemploying the principles and concepts of the present removable packagingeyewear blank and generally designated by the reference number 10 willbe described.

Referring to FIGS. 1 through 3 a preferred embodiment of the presentremovable packaging eyewear blank 10 is illustrated.

The present removable packaging eyewear blank 10 has been devised toenable removal of eyewear 20 from a packaging 70 for wear by a user. Inthe preferred embodiment herein disclosed, the packaging 70 iscontemplated to be packaging used for beverages, specifically alcoholicbeverages such as beer, and the eyewear 20 is removable by detachment ofa perforated boundary 22 delimiting the eyewear 20 within said packaging70 for wear upon the head of a user.

The removable packaging eyewear blank 10, therefore, includes aperforated boundary 22 disposed in a packaging 70, said perforatedboundary 22 enabling removal of an eyewear 20 from the packaging 70.Removal of the eyewear 20 from the packaging 70 may also simultaneouslyopen the packaging 70 for dispensation of product therefrom.

The eyewear 20 includes a pair of arms 24. Each of the pair of arms 24includes an earpiece 26 and a temple 28. The term “earpiece”, as usedherein, is taken to include the endwise portion of the arm 24 whichengages upon an ear. Each earpiece 26 may be arced to engage around eachear of a person wearing the eyewear 20. The term “temple”, as usedherein, is taken to include the linear portion of each arm 24 disposedproximal the temporal and sphenoid bones of the head of a person wearingthe eyewear 20.

The eyewear 20 further includes a pair of eye-loops 30 disposed betweeneach of the pair of arms 24, and a bridge 32 disposed between each ofthe pair of eye-loops 30. The bridge 32 is disposed to overlie the nasalbones of a user wearing the eyewear 20, and each of the pair ofeye-loops 30 is thence disposed circumferentially anterior to the eyesof a user whereby said user is enabled to peer through said eye-loops 30as if wearing a pair of glasses or goggles.

A removable center 34 is disposed within each of the pair of eye-loops30. The removable center 34 includes a shaped perimeter 36. The shapedperimeter 36 may be reminiscent of the silhouette of an object, such asa bat, for example, a moon, a star, or other recognizable object suitedto any particular occasion or event, as case may be. In the preferredembodiment herein disclosed, the removable center 34 is shaped like apumpkin, and the eyewear 20 therefore suited to sale of a product (inthe present example, beer) over the Halloween holiday. However, itshould be self-evident that additional shaped perimeters 36 andremovable centers 34 are contemplated for use, as desired, whenpromoting a particular product for a specific event.

In the preferred embodiment herein disclosed, the eyewear 20 is orientedin the packaging 70 so that each arm 24 is removably disposed verticallyupon each of a side face 72 of a carton of beer, and the eye-loops 30and bridge 32 are removably disposed horizontally oriented upon a topside 74 of said carton of beer, whereby each arm 24 is disposedperpendicularly relative the eye-loops 30. The eyewear 20 is, therefore,removable by release of the perforated boundary 22 and each of the arms24 is thereby disposed perpendicularly relative the eye-loops 30 and theeyewear 20 is thereby wearable upon the head of a user with each of thepair of arms 24 foldable along a preexisting fold line 76 forged in thepackaging 70 as a whole.
